After i drive my car for a while and or let it idle and warm If i turn her off she wont start anymore.All i can hear is a "Click". If i let her cool down for a while then she will Crank over and start. I already changed the Starter Selinoied and that wasnt it. What else can it be??? Could it be the starter? Anything electrical? Thanx for any help.JR.

Clean your batter terminals, cables & ground (on the timing cover). If it still happens, it's probably the starter.

I relocated my Battery and the ground cable is attached to the trunk not the frame. Could it be that i dont have enough ground?? Would that cause it to not want to start? Thanx for the reply *93*

Hmm.. What guage wires are you running?
Sounds to me like a typical ground problem. Do you have high compression that's taxing a weak starter maybe?
PA performance makes a good starter if you have to go that route.

Sounds like the starter. What starter do you have?

hmm.?
i had the same prob.very frustrating.

my problem was a bad ground from the starter to the soilniod..
check all ground wires from the battery and on
your interior lights may work but its not getting enough grounding
hope i helped you a lil'bit. good luck

fool you know what it wrong why you ask

I would say check and see if their is any electrical problem some where maybe its shortting out the starter or fuckeing up the seliniod

sounds like the starter is getting too hot. maybe try some of that heat wrap or a new starter

i had the same problem with my car, except it wouldn't start at all. see that it had been hiddin in a tow yard for about a year, when try starting it, all that would happen was that ticking ur talking about.

I tried the solenoid, and the starter, charged the battery, and it still nothing.

I changed the battery and the problem was solved. Maybe u just got a shitty battery.
